• Abstract: Staking has emerged as a crucial concept following Ethereum's transition to Proof-of-Stake consensus. The introduction of Liquid Staking Derivatives (LSDs) has effectively addressed the illiquidity issue associated with solo staking, gaining significant market attention. This paper analyzes the LSD market dynamics from the perspectives of both liquidity takers (LTs) and liquidity providers (LPs). We first quantify the price discrepancy between the LSD primary and secondary markets. Then we investigate and empirically measure how LTs can leverage such discrepancy to exploit arbitrage opportunities, unveiling the potential barriers to LSD arbitrages. In addition, we evaluate the financial profit and losses experienced by LPs who supply LSDs for liquidity provision. Our results show that 66% of LSD liquidity positions generate returns lower than those from simply holding the corresponding LSDs.

  Humans have a self-awareness process that allows us to recognize what we don't know when faced with queries. This paper investigates whether Large Language Models can estimate their own hallucination risk before response generation. By a probing estimator, we leverage LLM self-assessment, achieving an average hallucination estimation accuracy of 84.32% at run time.

In this paper, we approach the estimation of an optimal bid-ask spread quoting strategy in a data driven manner and show that it can be learned using Reinforcement Learning.

  We present $textbfANAH$, a dataset that offers $textbfAN$alytical $textbfA$nnotation of hallucinations in Large Language Models. ANAH consists of 12k sentence-level annotations for 4.3k LLM responses covering over 700 topics, constructed by a human-in-the-loop pipeline. Thanks to the fine granularity of the hallucination annotations, we can quantitatively confirm that the hallucinations of LLMs accumulate in the answer and use ANAH to train and evaluate hallucination annotators.

  In the Proof of Stake (PoS) ecosystem, users can stake ETH on Lido to receive stETH, a Liquid Staking Derivative (LSD) that represents staked ETH and accrues staking rewards. The composability of Lido, Aave, and Curve enables an emerging strategy known as leverage staking. This paper explores the opportunities and risks of leverage staking.

  Decentralized Exchanges (DEXs) are new types of marketplaces leveraging technology. One such DEX, Uniswap v3, allows liquidity providers to allocate funds more efficiently by specifying an active price interval for their funds. This introduces the problem of finding an optimal strategy for choosing price intervals. We formalize this problem as an online learning problem with non-stochastic rewards.
